Funny you should ask, i just put 20 heat cycles through both of the two LRP Z.28R Spec 3's today, and actually it was quite amazing how easy it was heat cycling two trucks (more easy then one infact). While one was cooling i would drive the other! Time went by really fast, tomorrow i will start to throw a tune in there direction, but seriously, these Spec 3's are amazing, even before its totally warmed up its makin gsick power, and the powerband scares me! It seems to wind out forever. I am very satisfied so far

dude those motors actualy need about 1-1.5 gallons before they make peak power...just wait and if your impressed now you will be amazed in a few weeks.

My Prospec is just starting to wake up after 1 gallon, and its stupid powerful..I love it

I had one, sucked dirt ont he 7th tank

But it looked really impressive on the 6th tank when I had it race tuned. Not sure if it is worth a rebuild, think I could get away with just a piston\sleeve?

I can only assume the worst, air filter popped of during a race with no idea that it had and the rest of the race the motor was "sucking dirt" directly into the engine with no filter.

That spells disaster for any engine.

Although i have seen some mach's live through it lol

Shouldn't be any need to replace the conrod Sky, not after only 7 tanks. Swap out the P&S and clean/polish everything and you should be good to re-break it in.
